After having won a Man of the Match award at the African Nations Championships which took place in Morocco, Brave Warriors keeper Loydt Kazapua is happy with the progress he is making.
He made several key stops to win the Man of the Match award, and conceded just once in three group-stage games before losing to Morocco in the quarterfinals of the competition.
The player also has also been linked with South African first-division side Highlands Park.
Kazapua has been one of the most talented goalkeepers in the premier league for many years now.
“I am very happy with the fact that my career is taking great shape and I do believe that more achievements will come my way.”
The 28-year-old, who has had a career-threatening shoulder injury, believes that he is slowly but surely getting over that problem.
Before leaving for South Africa, Kazapua played influential roles for his former clubs African Stars and Tigers.
He has made uncountable saves against some of the best strikers to grace the Namibia Premier League.
Kazapua is a disciplined goalkeeper who is rarely involved in controversies.
Brave Warriors teammate and Golden Arrows keeper Maximilian Mbaeva sees Kazapua as a brilliant goalkeeper.
“He is a special kind of person with brilliant goalkeeping skills and a great attitude towards what he does.
“I believe that his determination and the never say die attitude is something to admire,” Mbaeva said.
Kazapua said that his immediate plans are to get a club in South Africa.
“I have to work harder in order to prove my worth as a player anywhere I go.
“I am very grateful for what the Almighty has been doing in my life, because even when I was going through a tough time, He was there for me.”
Kazapua has advised all the young aspiring goalkeepers to stay away from drug related activities and to focus on their careers.
He felt that many young talented people do not go far because of alcohol and drug abuse.
“I have seen so many talented players whose dreams were shattered because they resorted to the abuse of alcohol and drugs.
“It is something I do not like and I will always try and encourage the people to refrain from the abuse of unwanted substances.
“Talent is something given by God and He can take it away if a person is not careful.”
Highlands Park who the player has been linked with, are currently leading the South African First Division with 53 points from 24 games.
Real Kings FC are behind Highlands Park on 38 points and it appears as if Highlands will gain promotion to the topflight football.
If he signs, Kazapua will join fellow Namibians Peter Shalulile and Chris Katjiukua who both play for Highlands Park too.
“Peter and Chris are doing very well and they have been influential figures for this club.
“It is always great to see Namibians doing so well in a foreign country.
“I must say the likes of Deon Hotto and Maximilian Mbaeva have also proven their worth in South Africa.”
